Interregional Travel --
To assess the state-of-the-practice in forecasting interregional travel in California,
to consider alternate methods to better represent interregional travel, and to make
recommendations on data needs and modeling policy.

Eliminating Left Turns --
Analysis of elimination of left turn phases at selected intersection for improved
intersection performance for vehicles and pedestrians, vis-a-vis innovative left turn
designs, enabled by increased deployment of in-vehicle navigation and real-time traffic
information.

Statewide Freight Model --
Development of a California Statewide Freight Forecasting Model to be linked with the California
Statewide Travel Demand Model.

Web-based Training: Transit --
Development of web-based training courseware for public transit systems, planning, and
modeling to provide fundamental knowledge of the state-of-the-practice for engineers,
planners, and other professionals engaged in transportation planning, operations, and
management.

Web-based Training --
Development of web-based courseware for traffic corridor management,
with a focus on subject breadth to provide fundamental knowledge of the
state-of-the-practice in transportation engineering and planning for
traffic corridors [ Summary ].

Activity-based Modeling
has been a research focus for 30 years -- for recent projects involving travel
pattern simulation, agent-based modeling, dynamic data collection and analysis ...

TRACER
-- A GPS-based, in-vehicle data collection system for monitoring and tracking,
the TRACER system includes portable, Extensible Data Collection Units (EDCUs),
a suite of OpenMap GIS analysis software, and an interactive web survey...

Local Travel Demand Models --
This study addresses local travel forecasting models through a
comprehensive examination of the state of the practice, focused on
data, methodologies, software, and operational practice. Local and
region-wide modeling practice is considered, as are sensitivity
analyses of how modeling elements affect model quality and applicability,
and the potential introduction of state of the art modeling techniques.

PTC -- Distributed On-line Database System for
Transportation Management Using Cooperating Roadside and In-vehicle Communication
Devices -- The collection, storage, and usage of control-system authenticated
vehicle-specific path data to determine dynamic trip tables. The research hypothesis
is that these historical travel patterns can be used to predict the movement of
system vehicles and thus can be used for traffic management...
